Streets of London now... and then: Stand still and picture yourself in history with app that creates hybrid images of present and past

• Street museum app can recognize a user's location and then overlay a historic image onto the camera view
• Each image on the free app can be expanded and explored, along with historical information about the subject
• Images include Blackfriars station in 1930, Victoria Station in 1950 and London’s skyline seen from Tower Bridge
• The new locations also take a look at the suburbs and outer boroughs of London – from Richmond mods in 1964 to Brent Cross road construction in the 1970s

One of the things that strikes me is that more people are on the streets back then then now. With the advent of the car and technology we don't need to be present as much, I guess? Is this better ...I would say no but what do I know.
